That doesn’t feel right to me. There is a conflict between the singular nature of {ngIq} and trying to talk about more than one of it. Such semantic tension might be okay in poetry. I would suggest avoiding it anywhere else.
It seems similar to counting things that are inherently plural — maybe it’s possible, but I don’t remember ever seeing an example of how to do it.
